This aircraft manages to put together the most effective way of flying in a swept-wing multi-engine bomber. Given that it was the first, it retains that unique level of preventability and uniqueness to many people, given that it was such a game changer within the corridors of power in the USAF.

Now, you can get your hands on the original aircraft and finally see why this aircraft is so well loved. The power of the B-47E is truly staggering and you’ll quickly find that it was a hugely powerful piece of hardware for a reason, due to its incredible depth and power. The engineers had been made to creating something a little more unique than your typical bomber, and this was the result.

Created in a high speed wing tunnel with swept-back wings, this is capable of carrying out bombing runs in the most ridiculous of scenarios; and now, you can do so too!

Key Features

Whatever you choose from you are getting a different kind of flight that will certainly make a difference to how you are capable of flying

Things like bump mapping, self-shadowing and reflective boom designs all come together here in harmony and look absolutely fantastic, creating the perfect scene

Everything that has been included in the design of this project has been made to look the very best that it can, particularly the bare-metal textures sets. Additionally these can be adjusted and tied to your own needs, if you are of the creative mindset

Add in the fact that the sticks, pedals and levers all work together and that the rear cockpit has been included and it’s incredibly interest

Very Good sim for me, still using FS2004. Allows you to understand the flight parameters of the aircraft for T/o and landing. Looks good when flying other B47 AI aircraft at operating airfields. Very happy with purchase.
